Photos

This is my favorite photo of Candace (that I've taken). I don't think she likes it but it's my blog dammit and I'll post whatever the hell I want :)
This is why we have seperate blogs. My cursing and posting of photos Candace hates. Oh, and the weiners. Don't forget the weiners.




My sweet sweet babies...I've been without them for 4 weeks while they are in Utah on vacation. They have a low tolerance for dad taking thier picture. I usually only get one chance then they're gone. This one was just before going out the door to church on Easter Sunday.



We spent a wondeful 4 or 5 days with the Bingham cousins at Bethany Beach, Deleware. Deleware is the first state. It also has the nicest toll booth people I've ever met. Loads nicer than the grouchy ones in New Jersey.

There's an awful lot of Binghams isn't there? And it all started with the two front and center.

Fun fact: I went to high school with two of the Bingham kids who in turn married another one I went to school with plus one that lived in the same small town as me. Then I married Candace and she's thier cousin.
Perhaps the strangest fact of all is that I now live in New Jersey. Still scratching my head on that one.



July
Finally caught up with the sketchbook. Of course there's several photos I'm wondering if I'm happy enough with to post and the pile of mostly finished paintings.


I've noticed that once I start working on a bunch of paintings my sketching drops way off. I wonder if it's because I only have so much energy to put into being creative or that my mind is just focused on one thing at at time.


Probably the one thing at time. I'm not much of a multi-tasker but when I focus I'm like the human laser beam. But in a cool way.

Hey look, no weiners!
Sorry Matt :)




June

The pattern I see here is I'm drawing less and less on the train. Maybe it's because I'm so tired that I have to listen to music while I sleep/zone out for 35 minutes twice a day just to keep myself level.







May
I hardly remember May...So much for drawing every day :)


April! 2007
Let's start April off with male nudity. Someone made the comment that I mostly sketched women. Well, duh. Who wants to look at a bunch of weiners?
The weiners of April are dedicated to Matt L or maybe I should just say M. Lyman.





March 2007
So I've decided to post sketchbook pages in batches according to month. Seems to be working if I could only stay up to date. There will of course be the odd posting of photos or paintings as they get done. Again, depending on if I can keep my shiz together enough to post regularly.
Some of these have become paintings which are still in progress but mostly finished. Right now there are 14 that I'm working on. I hate it when people ask me how long it takes me to make a painting. I have no idea and always feel rather foolish when I tell them I don't know.
